and electronics, we work to reveal the secrets of our solar system and the
univ
Objectives of this Role:
Join the Science Operations Center (SOC) for NASA's Lucy mission, as
well as support other SOCs for upcoming missions.
On Lucy, the individual would work with the Science Team and Instrument
engineers in planning and sequencing the science instruments for upcoming
Trojan asteroid encounters, as well as calibration and checkout activities
leading up to the flybys.
Developing science activity plans, building command loads, coordinating
spacecraft and pointing platform activities, merging, reviewing and
constraint checking the timelines.
Develop review products for Science and Instrument teams, working with SOC
and MOC software and procedures, and they would assist in improving
processes and documentation.
Daily and Monthly Responsibilities:
Build, merge, review command loads for Lucy asteroid encounters and
calibration and checkout activities.
